sentence too long for your pea brain, douchebag?

I don't support public employee unions, I've never said otherwise. shifting the goal post again. That's what you said "Regardless of what the Governor is doing I refuse to support liars." which means you'd consider supporting them against the governor if they weren't "liars" (actually they used sick days to go around the anti-labor laws that you support), which is a total lie.

Unfortunately, Laissez Faire zealots have almost entirely co-opted the term "libertarian", which has come to only mean anti-choice, militaristic, return to robber baron age goodness, i.e. Murdoch's agenda.

Why do you robber baron extremists want to take away collective bargaining rights if it is a "small" matter? btw it isn't a "gain" since you want to take something away from public workers. Your propaganda sucks!

what do you call someone like Nitrox claiming he'd consider supporting public workers if they didn't lie? . . . . . . . a fucking liar!

stop the charade, everybody knows you wouldn't support public worker's right to a descent living no matter what.

Regressives like PP aren't satisfied with having taken the right to strike from WI teachers, they also want to take away their right to bargain collectively. Then, PP feels insulted when he is compared to a Pinkerton right out of robber barons time.

giving up on many millions of people with lots of experience on average in their profession (many of the people unemployed for years are older workers discarded because they cost more than younger workers with less experience) is a good indication of what structural unemployment is going to be from here on out and how much investing multinationals are planning on doing in this country.

Regressives make anti-labor laws (no right to strike for teachers in WI) to prevent employees from legitimately exercising their collective rights, and then they whine when employees have to go around these unfair laws to exercise their civil rights. Hypocrites.

Liar! I only use ad-homs with reptilian trolls like yourself and your thuggish friends who specialize in personal attacks. In case you didn't realize with your pea-sized brain and fascistic tendencies, saying that JayB is a social darwisnist is an accurate description of the policies he advocates every day on this board, not an ad-hominem. I challenge you to show that I use ad-hominem regularly with anyone who actually debates to the point instead of attacking my person.

it's as if PP was especially proud to remind us of his reptilian red baiting. wtf?

Why am I even mentioned in this context? wtf the fuck is wrong with PP? Can't you leave me alone you fucking moron?

Multiplier Effect Calculates Economics of State Layoffs Published: Wednesday, January 26, 2011 1:46 PM CST Deb Courson AUSTIN, Texas - State budget plans call for eliminating up to 10,000 state jobs and 100,000 positions in public schools. But a budget analyst warns that cutting public-sector jobs results in the loss of private-sector jobs, too. Economists call it the "multiplier effect." Eva Deluna Castro, senior budget analyst with the Center for Public Policy Priorities, explains the economic ramifications when public employees get pink slips. "There is a multiplier effect. When you eliminate a public-sector job, 2.4 jobs are lost." Deluna Castro estimates that the total of public and private jobs lost under the state House budget proposal would be about 23,000. Add to that the school district positions being defunded and she says the final cost to the economy could be 263,000 lost jobs. job killing regressives

If it were a free market, they for sure would look like porn stars. Must be a conspiracy by their rent seeking union!

The shortage of primary care physicians could easily be addressed by opening the borders to foreign doctors but I understand the doctor's unions isn't too keen about it and neoliberals only want to open borders to capital and goods, not labor. So much for the "free market".

those rent-seeking leeches want to make more than $12/hr. What hubris!

well, how come you never brought it up during the health care debate. I smell a rat ...

can regressives be any more blatant with their divide and conquer tactics?

Limit access to government to rent seeking doctors and their union, the AMA. Right, JayB?

benefits get spent almost entirely, and there is little economic stimulus with greater return on investment. Much greater return than tax cuts to the wealthy for sure. I say we cut out the obvious (wars, pork, insurance middlemen, ..), and tax those who aren't taxed enough. The rest should take care of itself when the economy rebounds.
